Journal for health
Living from the Heart of God: A Journal for Life's Stages offers reflections and journal opportunities on life's stages. This helpful book offers devotions on a host of topics from buying a first home to losing a job or loved one. Small groups on campus or women's groups in congregations can use this journal for small group meetings or retreats.

Summer Bible study in LWT
The three-session 2007 summer Bible study in the June and July/August issues of Lutheran Woman Today magazine encourages us to "Act Boldly for Mission." Author Kelly Fryer will energize Bible study participants with her vibrant writing and deep faith. This study explores how women can boldly take part in God's mission to love and bless and save the world. To be the church, she says, is to participate in that mission by sharing the good news about Jesus Christ in word and deed. Use the Bible study as a one- day retreat over the summer.

Host a health event
Have you offered a health event for the women in your congregation or on campus? Women of the ELCA's healthy hearts event offers everything you need to run a health retreat in your community. Use already developed Healthy Heart stations for your event. Everything you need can be downloaded for free.
